Assuming that the sanitation department is regulated by the government and is paid for through taxes, which I’m not sure if it is because I’ve never asked, then why do people still leave trash everywhere?
If we aren’t putting our trash in the can, then why do we bother paying to have it picked up? It’s just throwing money away. Say, for instance, we didn’t pay to have our trash picked up, then everyone would be throwing their trash on the ground and in the streets and in the school quad and it would look little worse than is does now (obviously you haven’t seen my school but some parts are pretty gross). But since we don’t, we pay to have the “trash truck” pick up our garbage. But people still don’t throw their trash away, they just leave it on the ground. Therefore we are wasting money.
And if you’re thinking, well, why doesn’t she pick up other people’s trash when they leave it in the quad, let me ask you this: do you want to be picking up other people’s trash when they don’t pick it up themselves? No one wants to do that, and no one would have to if everyone threw away their trash in the first place.
In my opinion, this post is mainly aimed at my school, where people never throw away their trash. So, next time you eat your lunch, throw away your trash!
